brush or mit?

[rebman2005]

ok i work at a resort as the detailer (like 130 vehicles) and im gonna start doin my own thing on the side. but at work i use a brush with somewhat stiff bristles. so when it comes to other peeps vehicles is a brush or a mit better?

RUN AND NEVER LOOK BACK !!!!


Seriously, stiff brush ?...I've never used one but I would recommend that a mitt is the way to go...microfibre or lambswool perferablly.....

I agree, I'd only use a brush on a junker.

anything over $100 deserves a mit

my mit was $6 and it is a great product

Re: brush or mit?

There are good brushes, but stiff would not be acceptable.

I have been using the chenille sponge myself, but same idea as a mitt.

I use a (soft) wash brush On 99% of vehicles..
However, I do have a wash mit for High end vehicles...

A wash brush can scratch just as much as mit, depends on how well you keep it clean ...

I think a stiff brush would be like making a horror flick. Yikes. A soft brush or a mitt would be the way to go imho. I use a mitt.

Microfiber mitt is the way to go.

I use both, brush for the wheel wells ONLY.

Another thing with these brushes that I have witnessed is even if they are soft, watch a detailer that uses them long enough and you will see a few slips.

Plastic or not hitting the body is not something I want to happen.

Anything touching paint should either be a foam applicator pad for applying wax or Microfiber! Though 100% cotton and terry are okay, I don't use 'em.
Brush!? For the wheels only.
Think about the actual technology of microfiber. It's removing the dirt and trapping it so it doesn't come in contact with the paint again. (which is why your not supposed to apply a lot of pressure when washing and drying)
Can a brush do that? Even if the brush itself is SOFT, it still has no way of keeping the dirt from going back into the paint and causing the micro-scratches.

Re: brush or mit?

Using a mitt is always preferable to me. The only vehicles I use a brush on are full-size vans and big trucks where I can't always reach everything on the roof with a wash mitt.

Re: brush or mit?

i use ultra plush microfiber mits and if i need the convenience of a brush for high areas i got one of these at walmart which is exactly what OmeGa101 described but you dont have to be creative the pad on the end is microfiber and it can extend to your desired length.
